Default Throttle cable

As the title states, anyone know of another chassis throttle cable that will work and be shorter than the rather overkill length of the stock throttle cable?

thanks.

What problem are you trying to fix?

The amount of slack in the throttle cable is adjustable. And, as long as putting your foot on the floor fully opens the throttle body, I can't think or any valid reason to change it. I know some people like to adjust out all the slack for "more response", but then you risk snapping the cable when you stomp the pedal.

The 00-05 Cables loop around under the hood. There is about an extra 1.5 feet of cable.

I think this is one of those things that is easier to leave alone what works.
